Cape Cod Lifestyle for Sale in Grand Prairie?

Want to live on scenic Mountain Creek Lake? Smallish, but new brick homes with neat yards are being built long the water's edge on the Grand Prairie side of the lake.
What does that locale have going for it? A view of the Dallas NAS run-way with Blackhawk helicopters landing-maybe? The feeling of patriotism with the Texas National Guard and DFW national cemetery nearby? A lake ringed with TXU/Luminant transformers-kind of a rugged, electric sculptural garden effect visible from the cool over-the-lake bridge from Oak Cliff to GP. Oh, and let's not forget a really beautiful view of the new DBU chapel! Even for a residential/military/industrial/academic environment-there's a lot of action nearby.
Why, this new subdivision sounds a bit like old Cape Cod with street names of the "Sea Breeze" and "Harbor Lights" variety-reminiscent of Dallas as a land-locked port.
I truly appreciate quality development in the Dallas area-whatever the zip code, whatever the price range.
And, I've come to realize that environmental destruction does not exist unto itself forever. Rebirth and development have to be the the eventual result of true remediation, which hasn't taken place at Dallas NAS/NWIRP, by the way.
My questions about the new development (and other similar ones in the area) are these:
What was the city's and EPA's involvement in oversight of the area? What were the residents told about groundwater and TCE plumes? What will it take to get air quality measured due to several industrial concerns in the area? What about fishing and kids playing in the lake?
You know, I am just wondering about everyday, common sense concerns for an area the military-according to a 2001 Dallas lawsuit-made unusable. To what extent is the land and water unusable? To what extent is it useable-and to what extent is it fair for builder/developers to profit from perhaps compromised land in this area?
My inquiring mind wonders about a few details that should not be difficult to ascertain. But, from experience, I predict this land was not tagged as having any environmental problem at all, since the military base itself seems to present little concern to "the powers that be..." here in Big D.
Oh, and one last thought. Will Exxon be drilling for natural gas at the Naval Air Station this year? Is drilling for oil in the future? I would think new home owners have a right to know; and if I were they, I'd be checking my mineral rights clause.
